STATE PROPERTY AND TAXATION.
During the past quarter OF century the
state has been erecting public buildings
that will survive for centuries to come,
and paying for them, not by issuing bonds,
but by direct taxation. II has built large
asylums for the care of the unfortunate, the
helpless and the insane; it has erected col
leges, universities and schools for the edu-
cation of it's youth; it has provided institu-
tions for the confinement of the vicious and
the criminal, and for the reformation of the
wayward, and it is building . handsome and
commodious, though not extravagant, state
house. It's public buildings and grounds,
with their equipment, are worth, at mod
crate estimate, over 5000 600.
In the following table the area of the pub
lie grounds, and value of grounds. buildings
and equipment, are given in detail:

ing the ample educational facilities pro

the school population attends the public
schools. These figures, however, hardly
serve as fair illustration of lon-attend-
ance. Few parents deem it wise to subj ct
children under seven years OF age to the
oonasment or discipline of the school
room, and, except in few of the larger
cities, where high schools are provided,
boys and girls over sixteen, or seventeen
years of age rsreiy attend the district
schools.
The teachers employed in 1884 numbered
s,342; those employed in 1886 numbered
1887. The average wages paid teachers,
per month, were: males $42.02; females,
1856. There has been steady increase in
teachers' salaries, for many years past.
There are in Kansas 6,791 school houses,

years.

sued in 1870 and 1871, on which interest was
paid until after the passage of On act, by the
legislature of 1883, which, the authorities Of
Lawrence claim, relieved the city from all
further liability on these bonds. The per-
manent school fund has thus, in plain vio-
lation of section 8, article 6, Of tho consti-
tuition, been diminished to the extent Of
Sill. 900, and it should be the duty of the
legislature 10 take come action looking to
replacing this amount.
The permanent school fund il principally
derived from the sale Of school lands granted
to the state by congress, VIZ, the sixteenth
and thirty sixth section in every congress

oentum ON all sales of public lands within
the state. There are 2,258 congressional
townships in the state, and two sections in
each township would make an aggregate of

oeived from congress, on its admission, Co.,
COO acres of land, but this amount was, many
years ago, diverted from its original pur-
pose, md given to aid in building railroads.
